I have to say Annabanana I've been listening to this song alot, particularly on the elliptical. Listening to the lyrics has social stratification and the spread middle class and top 1% of America. Your interpretation by far has been the best I've so far reading in these meaning. If you watch the media and the news the fight between the King of Hearts (red) and the Queen of Spades (blue)is apparent. Let's paint the picture of the perfect place (America is perfect) They got it better than what anyone's told you Quote from someone in Int Politics class: "We are number one and always will be" I asked they never been outside the country. I can speak as one who has and there is a difference. There'll be the king of hearts and you're the queen of spades (Fight between the Dems and Repubs) And we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers (Voters picking sides without knowing the full details and believing rheotoric without researching.) I know we got it good, but they got it made (Other countries have health care, reduced education, and etc.) And the grass is getting greener each day (While some things get better the distribution of wealth goes up but doesnt come down) I know things are looking up, but soon they'll take us down Before anybody's knowing our name |

My perceived meaning of the lyrics is talking about social statification. I do not pick up religious overtones about being Christian or even faith, it the reality of country. Notice the video and compare to the spread between middle income and top 1% of America. Essentially when things get worse based on fear those who are in "the network" will be the ones left standing while everyone else is hanging out on fear of what others are doing. Its pretty much describing the battle between the rich, the poor, the left, the right, and the decisions that other try to make for others. |
